Just ordered 2 RED extra remotes for the wife on eBay. $15.00. I'll try the 07-11 remote programming as soon as they arrive. Thanks for the info.

She's always grabbing my keys by mistake that hang on the hooks as they both look similar. Shouldn't always blame her, I do the same when in a hurry. Now, if she has the RED fob, there shouldn't be any mistakes.

Also ordered the red rim stripes that I saw someone else put on their Focus. Will take some pics when they arrive and I've put them on.

I have a 2007 ST. I tried the instructions listed above and it doesn't work. I turn my key on and off 4 times and in the off position with the key in the ignition, it chimes.

Then I push the lock button on a remote and the headlights flash and the door locks cycle. I then try it for a second remote and nothing. I can only get this done for one remote and it's frustrating. Any suggestions?

**EDIT** Never mind, I'm good. I dug up my owners manual and got r done. The sequence was different than what was listed here.

The instructions here were good for our 2011 BUT, had problems at first. Wanted the new RED and old black to work and apparently once you program the new ones, the old ones don't work anymore and it seems liked if I left the second one of the same color in or near the car, it took the program away from it while programming the second key. Very frustrating for awhile but got both red done and just not using the black ones, not that I needed them anyway.

The RED rim stripes didn't work at all. Guess they really meant for the wheels on our car. Not really enough room on the outside of the spokes to get the red stripe on.

Hey Longarm,
Curious to hear what worked for your car. It will help the group. Also, just saw you said you switched 4 times but for the 2007 model, key needs to be turned 8 times...

Hey Crewzin,
You found that out. Yep, each time you change the code, you got to do all the ones you want to use at the same session. The key fobs not in
the car are no longer any good.

hey, so i programmed my new remote that i got last week and was able to be successful with it. now, i have my step brother with another focus and a coworker with a ranger that can unlock my car with their fobs even though i closed the programming when i did mine. anyone know exactly whats going on?

Going through the programming sequence with the fob or fobs you want to use SHOULD make just that one or ones work.

That is, for example, if you go through the sequence with just ONE of the fobs that would be the only one that will work until you repeat the procedure with both.

"adding" a fob requires BOTH to be present for both to work....

My owner's manual warns that you need all on hand that you want to use B4 starting the procedure for this reason.... Also it mentions that there is a maximum of 4 that can be programmed to work at the same time.

I remember having to do it twice B4 I got it right when I added an extra (only one came with the used car).
